Summary
Sakura starts small.
Walking to the Academy without clenching the handles of her backpack so hard she gets bruises—tired of being scolded by her mother, of comparisons drawn out of nowhere about her appearance and mannerisms.
Sakura almost manages to get inside this time around.
At the last second though, her treacherous mind pulls her back into months of teasing gone wrong. The Academy is meant to harden them, teachers brushing off a couple of concerns that she has inside her throat with a smile which seems ready go devour their whole faces.

In which the Academy messes Sakura up. She finds her way eventually.
Sasuke is a child filled with fear and night terrors who never came back to class.
Naru, realizing that love was out of order, simply fled to the darkest corners of town, and flourished.Bookmarked by bumblebeebusiness

Summary
sakura is in the land of waves, the ocean seraphic and filled with meaning. her crush is lying in front of her, dead, cold and so, so white. her sensei is bleeding out while fighting zabuza. naruto is fighting against the odds of hundreds of senbons.
(or: sakura watches her teammates get beaten half to death and bleed out next to her. when the bloody event ends, she realises that she's going to die unless she toughens up.)

Summary
Haruno Sakura was not stupid.
She was incredibly intelligent, sometimes self-serving, and definitely not blind.
So why did it take her finally being around Uchiha Sasuke to realize that he's an egotistical bully who only cares about himself?This revelation unlocks a hunger in Sakura that she never expected, and she grows in ways she never expected.

Summary
Naruto is off with the Toad Sannin, no doubt getting better without having to pulverize his bones because he’s jinchuuriki and he’s Naruto. Sasuke is being trained by Orochimaru, probably taking out all his angst on the creepy snake guy. Sakura begged Tsunade to take her, and despite her immediate regret and wounds to show for it, is still able to keep up. The three sannin are split between them, each training them for whatever goals they have.
Of the original Team Seven, she and Kakashi are the only ones left in Konoha, and he’s already kind of the exception because he never takes breaks between missions.
She hasn’t spoken to him in two months.
She should probably get on that. And try to find a reason to keep living. Who knows, maybe they’ll coincide.
(how sakura spends her three years with team 7 disbanded, while kakashi tries to make up for his shortcomings in his own strange way.)
